Learn C++ first but spend a day or so (if you have done programming
before) looking at a C manual to learn about the structure and layout
of a C program. But don't try to become an expert in C. There are 
many things a C programmer has to become adept at, that are
much less important in C++ (like #define, casts, pointer arithmetic,
typedef, structs, stdio.h).
